TECHNICAL FIELD

Embodiments of the present application relate to the technical field of data processing, and in particular, to a blockchain-based data evidence storage method, a blockchain-based data check method, and relevant apparatuses.

BACKGROUND

Along with the development of blockchain technologies, there are more and more blockchain-based applications, including data evidence storage services. According to existing data evidence storage methods, a service terminal uploads irreversibly encrypted data of a file to a blockchain for recording. After the recording is successful, the blockchain feeds on-chain evidence storage information of the irreversibly encrypted data back to the service terminal. Here, the irreversibly encrypted data is obtained through calculation based on data content of the file. Once the data content of the file changes, the calculated irreversibly encrypted data changes accordingly. Therefore, the service terminal may check the current data content of the file by retrieving, based on the on-chain evidence storage information, the irreversibly encrypted data calculated from the original data content of the file.

In the current technologies, the service terminal stores the on-chain evidence storage information independently (e.g., separated from the file). On the one hand, it is difficult to maintain the on-chain evidence storage information. For example, the service terminal needs to construct a mapping relationship between the file and the on-chain evidence storage information. Moreover, if the file needs to be relocated, the management of the corresponding on-chain evidence storage information must be considered. On the other hand, when checking data content of the file, corresponding on-chain evidence storage information needs to be found through matching, and this process is cumbersome. Moreover, if the file and the on-chain evidence storage information are not stored in the same physical storage medium, unnecessary troubles may be encountered. In light of this, there is currently an urgent need to solve the technical problem of how to more quickly and conveniently achieve data evidence storage service and data check service.

SUMMARY

The objective of embodiments of the present application is to provide a blockchain-based data evidence storage method, a blockchain-based data check method, and relevant apparatuses, which can more quickly and conveniently achieve data evidence storage service and data check service.

To achieve the above-described objective, the embodiments of the present application are implemented as follows.

According to a first aspect, a blockchain-based data evidence storage method is provided, comprising: performing irreversible encryption on data content of a target file to obtain irreversibly encrypted data of the target file; storing the irreversibly encrypted data in a blockchain and obtaining on-chain evidence storage information of the irreversibly encrypted data; generating a digital watermark of the on-chain evidence storage information; embedding the digital watermark into the target file; and storing the target file embedded with the digital watermark of the on-chain evidence storage information.

In some embodiments, the embedding the digital watermark of the on-chain evidence storage information into a display of the target file on a digital device comprises: dividing the display of the target file into a plurality of content blocks; obtaining a frequency coefficient corresponding to each of the content blocks by performing Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) operation on the content blocks; splitting the digital watermark into one or more pieces; and embedding the one or more pieces into one or more of the content blocks based on the frequency coefficients of the one or more of the content blocks.

In some embodiments, the one or more of the content blocks comprise content blocks with frequency coefficients greater than a preset threshold.

According to the solutions of the embodiments of the present application, after the irreversibly encrypted data of the target file is uploaded to a blockchain, the on-chain evidence storage information of the irreversibly encrypted data is embedded into the target file such that the on-chain evidence storage information is stored together with the target file. On the one hand, the difficulty in maintaining the on-chain evidence storage information is decreased, which makes it hard to lose the on-chain evidence storage information.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

To enable those skilled in the technical field to better understand the technical solutions of the present application, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application will be completely and thoroughly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Apparently, the described embodiments are merely some, but not all, embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments obtainable by a person skilled in the art without creative effort, based on some embodiments of the present application, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

As described above, in existing solutions for blockchain-based data evidence storage, a service terminal stores on-chain evidence storage information and files separately. On the one hand, it is difficult to maintain the on-chain evidence storage information. For example, the service terminal needs to construct a mapping relationship between files and on-chain evidence storage information. Moreover, if a file needs to be relocated, the management of the corresponding on-chain evidence storage information must be considered. On the other hand, when checking data content of a file, corresponding on-chain evidence storage information needs to be found through matching, and this process is cumbersome. Moreover, if the file and the on-chain evidence storage information are not stored in the same physical storage medium, unnecessary troubles may be caused.

In light of the above-described problems, the present application is intended to provide a technical solution that can more quickly and conveniently achieve data evidence storage service and data check service.

FIG. 1 is a flow chart of the blockchain-based data evidence storage method according to some embodiments of the present application. The method shown in FIG. 1 may be implemented by a corresponding apparatus in the description below, and the method comprises the following steps.

In Step S102, irreversible encryption is performed on data content of a target file to obtain irreversibly encrypted data of the target file. Here, the method for performing the irreversible encryption is not limited by the embodiments of the present application.

In some embodiments, hash calculation may be performed based on a hash algorithm (e.g., a message digest algorithm, cyclic redundancy check, etc.) on the data content of the target file to obtain digest information of the target file, and the digest information may serve as the irreversibly encrypted data of the target file.

In Step S104, the irreversibly encrypted data is stored in (e.g., uploaded to) an evidence storage blockchain (e.g., a blockchain storing evidence) and obtain on-chain evidence storage information of the irreversibly encrypted data.

For example, in this step, a transaction carrying the irreversibly encrypted data may be submitted, via a blockchain interface, to the evidence storage blockchain such that the evidence storage blockchain records the irreversibly encrypted data according to an existing procedure of uploading data in a transaction to a blockchain.

In Step S106, the on-chain evidence storage information is embedded into the target file. Here, the method for embedding the on-chain evidence storage information is not limited by the embodiments of the present application.

In some embodiments, the on-chain evidence storage information may be converted to a digital watermark. Then, the digital watermark of the on-chain evidence storage information may be embedded, based on a watermark embedding technology, into the target file.

In Step S108, the target file embedded with the on-chain evidence storage information is stored. The on-chain evidence storage information always accompanies the target file and won't be changed or destroyed when the target file is used normally (e.g., operated with permitted actions).

In some embodiments, after the irreversibly encrypted data of the target file is uploaded to a blockchain, the on-chain evidence storage information of the irreversibly encrypted data is embedded into the target file such that the on-chain evidence storage information is stored together with the target file. On the one hand, the difficulty in maintaining the on-chain evidence storage information is decreased, and it is not easy to lose the on-chain evidence storage information. On the other hand, when the on-chain evidence storage information needs to be used to check data content of the target file, the on-chain evidence storage information can be directly extracted and obtained from the target file, thereby making the operations significantly more convenient.

For example, the method according to some embodiments of the present application utilize a distributed data storage technology of decentralized, anti-loss, and tamper-proof blockchains to realize recording and searching of the irreversibly encrypted data of the target file. After the irreversibly encrypted data is successfully uploaded to a blockchain, the on-chain evidence storage information is embedded, based on a watermark embedding technology, into the target file such that the on-chain evidence storage information may be stored together with the target file in a uniform manner as watermarks. Watermarks have a characteristic that they are not easily detected. Therefore, the embedded irreversibly encrypted data does not affect normal use of the original carrier, i.e., the target file. Moreover, the embedded irreversibly encrypted data cannot be easily detected and destroyed by others.

Here, the main flow of the method according to some embodiments of the present application may comprise the following steps.

In Step I, when evidence storage needs to be performed on the target file, the service terminal performs, based on an irreversible hash algorithm, hash calculation on the data content of the target file to obtain digest information of the target file (i.e., the irreversibly encrypted data).

In Step II, the service terminal submits, via a blockchain interface, a transaction carrying the digest information to the evidence storage blockchain, and obtains the on-chain evidence storage information of the digest information.

Here, the on-chain evidence storage information may comprise a block identifier of a block storing the irreversibly encrypted data in the evidence storage blockchain. The service terminal may find, based on the block identifier, a corresponding block from the evidence storage blockchain, and then extract the irreversibly encrypted data recorded in the block.

In Step III, after the on-chain evidence storage information is obtained, the service terminal generates a digital watermark of the on-chain evidence storage information, and embeds, based on a watermark embedding technology, the digital watermark of the on-chain evidence storage information into the target file.

In this step, the digital watermark may be embedded into the target file in an implicit manner. For example, the content of the target file presented on a digital device may be first divided into blocks to obtain at least one content block. Then, Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) calculation is performed on the content blocks to obtain a frequency coefficient corresponding to each content block. The frequency coefficient may reflect the energy of a content block in the presentation interface. Human eyes are more sensitive to low frequency portions than to high frequency portions. If embedded in a low frequency portion, the digital watermark can be easily perceived, and the normal display of the target file is affected. Therefore, to make it difficult to perceive the digital watermark, the digital watermark may be split and embedded in content blocks with relatively high frequency coefficients. For example, the digital watermark is split into pieces and embedded the pieces in content blocks with frequency coefficients greater than a preset standard. Alternatively, the content blocks are sorted in a descending order based on the frequency coefficients, the digital watermark is split into pieces and embedded into one or more of the content blocks with top frequency coefficients, where the content blocks are selected based on a preset percentage (e.g., the content blocks with the top 15% of the frequency coefficients).

In addition, in this step, the digital watermark may also be embedded into the target file in an explicit manner. For example, the target file is presented on a digital device in layers. In this step, the digital watermark may be embedded into other display layers above the display layer of the original content of the target file.

In Step IV, the service terminal stores the target file embedded with the on-chain evidence storage information. In some embodiments, the on-chain evidence storage information always accompanies the target file. Therefore, the service terminal does not need to configure an extra mapping relationship between the target file and the on-chain evidence storage information. If the target file needs to be transferred later, there is no need to consider how to process the on-chain evidence storage information such that the maintenance becomes simpler and more practical.

FIG. 2 is a flow chart of the blockchain-based data check method according to some embodiments of the present application. The method shown in FIG. 2 may be implemented by a corresponding apparatus in the description below, and the method comprises the following steps.

In Step S202, when preparing to check data content of a target file, on-chain evidence storage information pre-embedded in the target file is obtained. In Step S204, based on the on-chain evidence storage information, irreversibly encrypted data of the target file recorded in an evidence storage blockchain is obtained. In this step, the on-chain evidence storage information may be submitted, via a blockchain interface, to the evidence storage blockchain, so as to obtain the irreversibly encrypted data of the target file previously recorded in the evidence storage blockchain. In Step S206, based on the irreversibly encrypted data, the data content of the target file is checked; here, the data content of the target file does not include the on-chain evidence storage information.

In this step, irreversible encryption is performed on the data content of the target file to obtain locally generated irreversibly encrypted data of the target file. Then, the locally generated irreversibly encrypted data is compared with the irreversibly encrypted data obtained from the evidence storage blockchain. If the two are consistent, the check is successful, and if the two are inconsistent, the check is failure.

In some embodiments, the target file is embedded with the on-chain evidence storage information of the irreversibly encrypted data obtained through calculation based on the data content of the target file. When the data content of the target file needs to be checked, the on-chain evidence storage information may be directly obtained by parsing the target file (e.g., based on the digital watermarks of the on-chain evidence storage information embedded in the target file), and the irreversibly encrypted data for the check may be retrieved, based on the on-chain evidence storage information, from the evidence storage blockchain. Since the operations are more convenient and faster, the solutions are more practical.

The above-described data evidence storage method and data check method will be described in detail below with reference to an exemplary application scenario.

In this application scenario, assuming that a user needs to perform evidence storage on a target file, a personal device may be used to call a programming interface of an application for evidence storage to perform hash calculation on the data content of the target file to obtain original digest information TxHash of the target file.

Then, the user uses the personal device to access a blockchain interface of the evidence storage blockchain, so as to submit a transaction carrying TxHash to the evidence storage blockchain.

The evidence storage blockchain triggers, based on the above-described transaction, a pre-deployed smart contract to initiate an uploading-to-blockchain operation on TxHash in the transaction. After TxHash has been successfully uploaded to the blockchain, the corresponding on-chain evidence storage information is fed back to the personal device of the user.

Subsequently, the user uses the personal device to convert the on-chain evidence storage information fed back by the evidence storage blockchain into a digital watermark and to embed the digital watermark into the target file for unified storage. It should be understood that normal edits to the data content of the target file do not cause variations of the embedded on-chain evidence storage information.

Assuming that the user hopes to check (e.g., verify, authenticate) the data content of the target file at a later time, the user may use the personal device to send the target file to a verification platform, and the verification platform performs the check (the check process may also be implemented at the personal device side of the user, which will not be elaborated here).

Upon receiving the target file, the verification platform parses the target file to extract the on-chain evidence storage information in the target file. Then, the verification platform submits, via a blockchain interface, the on-chain evidence storage information obtained from the parsing to the evidence storage blockchain, thereby retrieving TxHash recorded in the evidence storage blockchain.

Meanwhile, the verification platform may further perform hash calculation on the data content of the target file to obtain current digest information TxHash* of the target file.

After TxHash and TxHash* are obtained, the verification platform compares TxHash and TxHash*. If the two are consistent, the check is successful, and if the two are inconsistent, the check is failure.

Subsequently, the verification platform feeds a check result of the target file to the personal device of the user.

The methods according to the embodiments of the present application are described above. Proper variations may be made without departing from the above-described principles in the present specification, and these variations shall also fall within the scope of the embodiments of the present application.

In some embodiments, after the irreversibly encrypted data of the target file is uploaded to a blockchain, the on-chain evidence storage information of the irreversibly encrypted data is embedded into the target file such that the on-chain evidence storage information is stored together with the target file. On the one hand, the difficulty in maintaining the on-chain evidence storage information is decreased, and it is not easy to lose the on-chain evidence storage information. On the other hand, when the on-chain evidence storage information needs to be used to check data content of the target file, the on-chain evidence storage information can be directly extracted and obtained from the target file, thereby making the operations significantly more convenient.
